I am 5'4 and weight 130 pounds, I recently went to a consultation for breast augmentation. I would like to be a D. I am now a 34 A. The Doctor advised 475 cc's would look good. I will be getting the implants underneath the muscle. moderate plus was suggested by the Doctor. I am wondering if 475 cc's is too big? I want my breast to look natural. I was told since If I get 475 cc's, my breast will look as if I got 450 cc's since I will be getting my implants underneath the muscle.
Answer: 475 too big? Thank you for your question. It is much better to accurately discuss implant volume and projection with an in office exam and detailed measurements. In order to make an accurate size recommendation, I would need to assess your chest wall and breast mound measurements/characteristics. I use these measurements to help me during the sizing process to guide you to a safe result for your chest wall and just as important, one that meets your end desires.The next step is to try on this range of implants in the office with your doctor. The key to this success is showing your surgeon the body proportion you desire with a bra sizer and allowing your surgeon to guide you to the right implant. It will be much easier to communicate in implant cc's than cup size when determining the appropriate implant for you during the sizing process. In addition, review of photos and use of rice bags can be very helpful to the patient and surgeon in achieving a safe and happy result. Close intereaction and involvement from your surgeon during this process can help alleviate the anxiety and fears of choosing the right size. I wish you a safe recovery and fantastic result.Dr. Gill

Answer: 475 cc Without photos and breast measurements, this is not possible to answer in a useful way. The quoted size would require a breast width of 14 cm, which may be more than I would expect given your height and weight. It might be helpful for you to try on size implants to help choose a size. But it is possible that your goal cannot be met in a way that will result in a natural looking breast. All the best.
